Dear Editor, In the October issue John Thatamanil wrote on “Keeping company with love,” a very important task for us all to attend to. But as I have thought about this, I have concluded that true love requires following a path to reach it. St. Paul spelt this out for us in Galatians 5:22-23: By […]

Dear Editor, I continue to be impressed with the work of Christ Church Cathedral’s director of music, Donald Hunt. His article (Cathedral connects young people to music education) is yet another fine description of the effort he and his colleagues and choirs are making, not only to educate young people in the centuries-old traditions of […]

Dear Editor, I am very grateful for Bishop Ingham’s letter in response to my article on Bishop George Hills’ opposition to segregation, both for Bishop Ingham’s kind words and for the opportunity to expand on a theme I did not have the opportunity to discuss in my article. In his letter, Bishop Ingham mentioned Edward […]

Dear Editor, Bravo to Kieran Wilson for his well-researched and excellently written article on Bishop George Hills’ resolute opposition to racial segregation in Anglican churches in BC in the 19th century (Bishop George Hills and Anglican opposition to segregation in early Victoria). This story recounts one of the better instances of episcopal leadership in our […]

Dear Editor, Since autumn is often a time for church stewardship campaigns, when tithing might be promoted, I’m writing about concerns I’ve had for years about the unfairness of tithing. On the surface it sounds fair: everyone is encouraged to give the same 10% proportion of their income. However, the apparent mathematical “equality” belies a […]

Dear Editor, I was both shocked and interested to read your article about the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations and their troubles (Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations building hope for the future, September 2024). All the years I had been part of Aboriginal Neighbours, I had not known about them. With the encouragement of Bishop Logan McMenamie, we visited the long […]

Dear Editor, I enjoyed reading your extensive article on the Anglo-Catholic dimension of our faith (Pressing forward — High Church Anglicanism in print and practice, January 2024) Anglicanism forms a broad church, ranging from the evangelical to the catholic, and the latter gets little play in the affairs of the wider church these days. One […]
